The Northeastern Difference

Northeastern University students benefit from a powerful combination: rigorous classroom studies integrated with up to 18 months of work experience gained through the nation's largest, most innovative cooperative education (co-op) program. Undergraduate research enables students to become knowledge creators, build critical-thinking skills, and assist faculty members in making discoveries that translate into solutions. Our students take advantage of globalization in the 21st century through international co-ops, service learning, and study abroad.
